        <pre>Unfortunately, I don't think I can help much with fixing this issue. There are
no errors in the log, and I think this sort of distortion tends to be a bug in
the alsa driver. You can try sending a mail to the alsa-devel mailing list
describing the problem. Referring to the recording is a good idea, and the alsa
guys will want the output from this script:
<a href="http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh">http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh</a>

As a band-aid, when the problem occurs, you can run "pavucontrol -- true". That
will make pulseaudio close and reopen all alsa devices, which often
sufficiently resets things so that the distortion disappears.

Question to David (added to cc): do you see this sort of bugs a lot in your
alsa work? Do these bugs generally get fixed?</pre>
